Iaorana Tatou!!! BREAKING NEWS: I am leaving the beautiful island of Huahine and my wonderful companion Soeur Miller to go next door to Raiatea. It’s kind of funny because that’s exactly what Soeur Wissocq (my trainer) did, and it’s normal for sisters to serve in the islands only once. I guess it runs in the family! ;) Also, I’m going to the area Soeur Kendall (my MTC comp) was just in! Talk about a small world! We’re also doing a whitewash which means that both me and my companion will both be new to the sector. Pray for us, she’s only been in French Polynesia for 3 weeks longer than me. Maybe a special fast is in order… Just kidding, it’ll be great! Also we’ll be in a car and  neither of us know how to drive manual , so you might hear more driving adventures. Normally I would fly today, but I fly out  on Wednesday  morning because SOEUR MILLER IS GOING TO BE A MOM! She’s training someone new when I leave! I’m so excited for her, and I know she’s going to be awesome.  A Vi

Bonjour toute le monde!!! Christelle with Husband, Arthur and Hazael   Ping-Pong P-day So I actually had a super crazy awesome week, I have so much to tell y’all!!! So for starters for P-day we played ping pong with the elders and a member, and I was actually decent by the end! Take that, college friends, who always kicked my butt at ping pong! We also went on an adventure to the beach and took some super awesome pictures so be prepared for that!  Real Whales Sighted WE SAW WHALES!!! We didn’t have a Faatamaaraa (dinner appointment) one day so we ate our lunch at the beach because why not, and Soeur Miller noticed a bunch of water blowing up and we saw a huge family of whales just chilling chez nous ! (At Home) None of them decided to jump for us, but we saw tons of tails. How cool is that??? Soeur Mapuhi and Her Aunt from America So do you all remember Jean and Eugene? We’ve been at their house a lot for dinners because Soeur Mapuhi is super kind, and since

Bonjour tout le monde!!! So boy have I had an interesting week! We had our first experience with creepy drunk guys at night, battled a giant centipede, and somehow scheduled two baptisms without realizing it. ;) Anyway, stay tuned!!!   Making an Exit BIG NEWS! I have finished my training! I've been a "grownup" missionary for a week now and to be honest it's not much different. Super excited though! So... the story with the drunk guys. A Faatamaara'a fell through (our meals with the members) so we decided since we had time to go watch the sunset on the beach. When we got there we were so excited because there wasn't anyone. Normally there are people drinking or something so we just stay in the car to stay safe, but this time there wasn't anyone we could see so we got out to take pictures and watch the sunset. Just after the sun actually set two guys with beers in hand approached us out of nowhere and started talking to us. Instantly I'm fre

​Bonjour!!! Zone Conference in Raiatea Flying to Raiatea! So this has been another AWESOME week and I can't wait to tell y'all about it! You know how I said last week we might be going to Raiatea for zone conference? Well dreams do come true! We flew out pretty early  Wednesday  morning and were able to spend the night in Raiatea! It was really weird having a 15 minute plane flight, but what can you expect when you can literally see Raiatea from our little island? ;) It was so cool! It was also very disorienting to be with all three of the companions I've had so far. At one point Soeur Wissocq said "companion" and I responded instead of her current companion. Tears may or may not have been shed once we realized the mistake. Honestly though, I've been so lucky with all of the companions I've had so far! They've all taught me something new and have helped me become a better missionary! Both Soeur Kendall and Soeur Wissocq are doing amazing ri
